SON
INTRODUCTORY SERMON.
By Rev. T. N. Ivey, of Wilson.
Theme : "The Holy Spirit and
liberty."
Text: "And where the Spirit of
the Lord if Uiere is li erty." II
CorinthSana, 3:17.
The text embodies a truth which
is much wider than that intended for
the Corinthians at the time, it was
written.
Paul had been contrasting the "tet
ter" and the "spirit." He said that
the letter, representing the law,
means death, but that the spirit, rep
resenting the grace of the Gospel,
means life. Further on he says:
"Now the Lord is that Spirit, and
where the Spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty." By the Spirit oAneTorThat victory which Satan won in
Lord he means the Holy Ghost- The
. i
Holy Ghost is the conveyer of Jesus
and His merits to human hearts. He
is the Spirit of the Lord. By liberty
he means ireedom from the guilt and
fear of sin, and Jrom sin itself free
dom from the jaw of sin and death."
It is the liberty "wherein Christ hath
made us free." But Paul's statement-contains
a truth whose horizon
sweeps beyond the circle of that
truth which lay. at the time under
Paul's mental eye. It is one of those
; cumulative truths which belong to
the world, and whose fields grow
arger as i.he successive spirit-guided
tges lift the enfolding mist. The
text states a princeple. It is a uni
versa! truth. "Where the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is liberty." The
theme towards which its thoughts
converge is the relation of the Holy
Ghost to liberty.
Liberty is a commonplace word. It
has been worn smooth by the wheels
of constant and often improper usage.
Yet there is magic in the very 6ound.
What other word can grip the human
heart more firmly than this word
'liberty?" He who speaks and sings
of liberty sends the echo of his voice
around the world. No speech on
home rule, tariff or finance will live
as long in the human heart as the
speeck of Paul before Agrippa or of
Patrick Henry before the Virginia
Assembly. The song which Miriam
sang when the last Israelite had
turned his back upon the Red Sea,
and the jubilant Magnificat of that
Mary who sang of Jesus the coming
Deliverer, wi.l soar duriDg the rising
and falling generations as far above
the sweetest notes of the world's pri
ma-donnas as the song of the lark
soars aboye that of the sparrow in
the hedgs.
Thero are many definitions of lib
erty. We will not be exact. Per
haps it is adequate to say that liber
ty is the possession ana proper use
of those rights and privileges granted
us by an all wise Father. The eagle
wetting his wing in the thunder
cloud, the lion holding his royal sway
in the domain of the jungle, the
mountaineer climbing his wind-swept
crags, the child of God exulting in
the blessings of his adoption, are
free because each is using his God
given rights and privileges. Since
the possession and enjoyment of
these rights and privileges are con
ditioned upon obedience to certain
beneficent controlling laws, it follows
that liberty is obedience to law, not
freedom from it. We are intercepted
at every footstep by lines of natural
civil, ecclesiastical and spiritual
laws. When we walk parallel with
these laws we walk toward and in
liberty; when we-cross these lines we
set our foot in the domain of slavery.
The world has been testing the truth
fulness of this statement, and history
is uothing but a record of the exper
iment. The French people found
it true in those bloody days of the
Revolution. The prisoner in yonder
jail has found it true. The thous
ands of wrecks being floated this
night by the waves of appetite and
lust into the harbor of failure and
despair have found it true. Liberty
is the supremacy of law. When law
is supreme there is freedom. A fail
ure to recognize this fact has thrown
the machinery of the world out of
gear. Anarchists and socialists in
the church and out of it are howling
themselves hoarse as the disciples of
liberty. Their liberty is the disguised
spirit of lawlessness. It wears
mask of beauty, but beneath are the
"raw head and bloody bones." The
liberty of three-fourths of the world's
inhabitants is nothing but defiance
and abrogation of law. It means for
humanity the fall of Lucifer, and to
as deep a hell. Let the truth be
taught fn our homes, our schools, cur
churches, on our highways and in
our hvwavs. that ooedienoe, and
nothing but obedience, is liberty.
Liberty comprehends all that God
in His deepest loye designs for the
world, animate and inanimate. Since
liberty is the possession and. proper
use of God-given rights and faculties
since such rights and privileges mean
the supremacy of law; since the su
pretnacy of law means the suprema

but is something which swings itself
into the realm of the spiritual, and
planting its feet on the grand doc
trine that God is love, resolves itself
into the. richest expression of that
love and becomes .the compendium
of all blessings. It comes from God;
its light streams from His throne, its
Dote of victory is the echo of His
voice, an d the period of its universal
sway is the Millennial day when God
shall call through the archway of im
mortality a redeemed universe.
No one but God Himself fully
comprehended the fearful magnitude

bat little about it. As we can see in
the acorn the full outlines of the un
developed tree, so God saw in fallen

burrowing in the great heart of hu
manity, and like some titantic devil
fish sending out its black tentacles
to grasp God's creation from the hu
man heart to the amoebae in the
ditch. But God devised a nlan of
iberation. "God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish but have everlast
ing life." When the "fullness of
time" came Jesus appeared to give
the only tree life, to speak the one
eternal truth which makes men free,
to point out the only way that leads
from slavery to liberty which is Sal
vation. What is the relation of liberty to

ship of the Holy Spirit and liberty is
seen in the revealed truth that the
Holy Ghost is in this world as a- Re
vealer of Christ. To reveal Him is
His function and office. There has
been going on in this world a process
of divine revelation ever since the
flaming sword was placed at Eden's
gate to guard the way of the tree of
life. For 4,000 years the Father re
ve.iled Himself tn onr fathers at finn
dry times and in divers manners.
He spake from the whirlwind and in
the deep visions of the night. He
flamed in the burning bush, in the
overshadowing clond and in the alorv

The Holy Spirit produces and pro-
motes liberty indirectly through the
Church of Christ. The Holy Ghost
took His place in the Church on the
day of Pentecost. Hitherto He had
been with the Church. Among the
ia8t words which Christ spake to- His
disciples were these: "Ye know him
for he dwelleth with you and shall be
in you." The Church is called in the
New Testament the temple of the
Holy Ghost. Body is the word used.
it does not mean the physicial body,
but the corporate Church of Christ.
Christ is the head and the body. The
Holy Spirit is the heart The Holy
Spirit works through the Church in
revealing Jesus to the world. The
Church of Christ, then, has ever been
an instrument of liberty. "And

The statement made in all ages of
the world since Christ that the
Church has ever been on the side of
slavery seems to me a shocking
and blasphemous statement. It
means the constant absence of the
Spirit from the Church in all ages o
her existence. It means that the
Spirit of liberty who descended on
Lhe Day of Pentecost in a shower of
fiery tongues, burning into the very
heart of the Church and . making a
glory brighter than that which shone
above the mercy-seat, plumed His
wings for a final flight from her altars
and her throne of power. , If the

the road which leads from slavery to
universal freedom.' During the first
stage she wandered through the low
grounds. From Calvary she began
to mount with renewed vigor. But
... e
n all her journey - has she .notde.
scended? Yes. The men who had
seen the glory of Pentecost had
hardly fallen on -sleep before she de
scended into the depths of false Jew
ish theology. When Constantine
saw in the heavens the fiery cross,
and afterward carried that cross
on ins victorious banners, she
descended into the corruption
of a State Church and an elab
orate Christian formalism. During
the travail of the Dark and Middle
Ages she descended into the awful
gloom of pagan philosopy, pagan
superstition and pagan immorality.
In the the eighteenth century she de-
scended into the dephs of a gross
materialism culminating in the hor
rors of the French Revolution. But
has she has not also ascended? Yes.
She has never, thank God, descended
so low but that she has not -risen
higher; and we haye only to look at
the position of humanity when Christ
walKed and talked on earth and the
position of humanity now to see how
high in the atmosphere of liberty it
has been lifted by the Church of
God.
